I used to spend a lot of time involuntarily on Navy Pier, and it's a nightmare but...the views do compel one.
[ID: Two photographs from the upper deck halfway down Navy Pier; one looks west and shows the ferris wheel and Streeterville high rise buildings with the sunset behind them, while the other looks east snd shows the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre sign and a lake cruise ship docked nearby.]

So how does an actor start to find a connection to such a determined villain? “I am someone who understands ambition,” says Katy Sullivan, who plays Richard in Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s new production, running February 2 to March 3. “The first thing you have to do is [ask], What is that tiny little rock-climbing handhold that you have in common with the character, however different from you they are? Ambition is sort of my connection to him at this point.”

My random Broadway Stunt Cast Ideas (Part 1?)
Hi here's some celebrities and the musical roles I want them to be in. my definition of "celebrity" is loose, it's basically just if they're famous to me. Also I won't be providing logic for these ones, it's mostly vibes.
Miley Cyrus as Helene in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812
Shane Madej as Billy Flynn in Chicago
Brennan Lee Mulligan and Lou Wilson as the Princes in Into the Woods (doesn't matter who plays which prince, they'd both slay either one)
Renee Rapp (I think she's mainstream famous enough to be a stunt cast now) as Anatole in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812
Hozier as Orpheus in Hadestown (this might be a hot take?)
Lou Wilson as Shakespeare in Something Rotten
Boygenius as the Fates in Hadestown
Kate Siegal as Persephone in Hadestown
Alaska Thunderfuck as Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Show

unnecessarily proud of going directly from the role of Friar Lawrence to the role of Velma Kelly. look at me learning how to be a whore on stage.
#look. look. i love shakespeare but vel has been so#from velmacore (scooby doo) to velmacore (chicago)#oh. hated writing that out. but accurate

Working in the senate of Rome (uh-uh)
Minding my own business (Cicero)
In comes the dictator Caesar in a paranoid rage (Lipschitz)
“You’ve been conspiring against me,” He says (pop)
He was power hungry (six)
And he kept on screamin’ (uh-uh)
“You’ve been considering against me”
And then he ran into my knife
He ran into my knife twenty three times
If you had been there
If you had see it
I betcha you would’ve done the same

As part of the Summer Shakespeare Festival in August 2004, University Theater staged The Winter’s Tale in Hutchinson Courtyard. Susanna Gellert, AB’99, currently lecturer in directing at Yale, directed this production of one of Shakespeare’s “problem plays.”

Illinoise, music and lyrics by Sufjan Stevens, directed and choreographed by Justin Peck.
This show is absolutely spectacular! The otherworldly choreography is expertly executed by a supremely talented cast of dancers. The vocals, of Sufjan Stevens' songs, are exceptional, in a visually stunning production.
